Can anyone tell me if they did this pattern? I so love this lady, being Irish and with red hair this would be so pretty in my bedroom. And this is my favorite time of year with all those gorgeous colors in the trees.
Can this be done in 16 count lambswool instead of the 28 count linen? I have a very hard time with 2 cross over whatever.........could never figure it out so now I do 16 count and am happy with it.
What color would anyone suggest in this for 16 count?
Thank you ladies,
Sherry
